Zhang Fengyi

Zhang Fengyi (? -1636), from Daizhou. In the forty first year of the Wanli reign (1613), he passed the imperial examination. Appointed as the head of the Ministry of Revenue. Li Guangning, Deputy Commander in Chief of Military Preparedness, returned with worries. At the beginning of the Apocalypse, the Right Party participated in politics and ordered the Zunhua Army to prepare. In May of the third year of Tianqi (1623), the governor of Liaodong, Yan Mingtai, was dismissed and replaced by the Right Censor of Fengyi. In the autumn of the sixth year of Tianqi (1626), he was appointed as a retired official and appointed as the governor of Baoding. In the winter of the seventh year of Tianqi (1627), Liu Zhao, the Governor General of Jiliao, was appointed as the Right Censor of Fengyi and the Right Assistant Minister of War to replace him.
In February of the first year of Chongzhen (1628), the censor Ning Guang first accused Feng Yi of pacifying Baoding and built the Wei Zhongxian Sheng Temple. Feng Yi's plea for mercy is not allowed. Not long after, thank you for your illness. All the builders of the temple were involved in the rebellion, and Feng Yi was pardoned for being a border official. In the third year of Chongzhen (1630), he became a retired official and served as the acting governor of Ji, Liao, and Baoding military affairs for Liu Ce. After returning to Zun and Yongsi cities, he achieved meritorious service and was promoted to the position of Prince Shaobao and Minister of War. He also served in the imperial court in the imperial court. Fengyi Xixie is weak and weak. He reported to increase the number of good generals, heavy troops, firearms, reserve troops, and distant scouts. Thank you again for your illness. After a long time, he was summoned as the Minister of War.
In the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636), the Later Jin army invaded Changping, and there were numerous impeachments within the court. Fengyi knew it was inevitable, so she took Da Huang Yao to relieve pain every day. Her illness was already on the brink of death, and she continued to work tirelessly to cure it. By the end of August, the capital city had lifted martial law, and Fengyi passed away on the first day of September. He has already been punished and stripped of his official position. In July of the eleventh year of Chongzhen (1638), an edict was issued to review the achievements of the previous suppression of bandits.
At the beginning of the Apocalypse, the Right Party participated in politics and ordered the Zunhua Army to prepare. In May of the third year of Tianqi (1623), the governor of Liaodong, Yan Mingtai, was dismissed and replaced by the Right Censor of Fengyi. After Wang Huazhen abandoned Guangning, the eight cities outside the Great Wall were completely empty, and Sun Chengzong, the chief minister, was determined to restore them, but the plate building did not flourish. Feng Yi heard the order and suspected that Emperor Chengzong wanted to return to the court. He was very afraid of it and asked for a special guard to close the gate. The main seat was occupied by Ye Xianggao, and the local resident Han Hao was in charge of governance, while the suppression envoy Fu Shang. After arriving at the pass, in August, he went out to review the cities of Qiantun and Ningyuan, and wrote a memorial praising the achievements of Emperor Chengzong. He also said, "The eight cities are not built in a year, and the six years of devastation are not a temporary illness. Today, we cannot suppress them, nor can we talk about war, but we must defend ourselves. We should take mountains and seas as the foundation, Ningyuan as the gateway, and Guangning as the scout." His intention was to focus solely on guarding the pass, but he disagreed with Emperor Chengzong.
Shi Zhao led his teachers to stationed in Qiantun, and achieved effective results in cultivating fields and training soldiers. Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui guarded Ningyuan, and the scale outside the Great Wall was slightly determined. Suddenly, there was a rumor that Zhongzuo had been attacked by soldiers. The officials and people of Yongping were restless and eager to flee. Fengyi was moved and urgently sent his wife back to the west. Emperor Chengzong said, "If I don't leave the border, people's hearts will be unsettled." He then traveled eastward in January of the fourth year. The Fengyi language person said, "If Shufu wants to occupy me in the wilderness of Ningqian, he is killing me. Even if the country abandons Liaozuo, it still has its heyday, like Daning and Hetao. What harm does abandoning them cause? Nowadays, the world does not want to restore Liaoqian, but only that person wants to restore it?" The person who knows the way of residence criticized Ma Shilong's greed and the misconduct of the three generals, in order to shake Emperor Chengzong. Emperor Chengzong was displeased and reported it with his words. Shi Fengyi faced internal difficulties and was relieved. Emperor Chengzong submitted a memorial to distinguish between Shilong and others. He was timid due to his criticism of Fengyi's talent, cunning in his perception of darkness, and skilled in seeking profit and avoiding danger. The court has decided not to ask again.
In the autumn of the sixth year, he was appointed as a retired official and appointed as the governor of Baoding. In the winter of the seventh year, Liu Zhao, the governor of Jiliao, was appointed as the Right Censor of Fengyi and the Right Assistant Minister of War to replace him. In February of the first year of Chongzhen, the censor Ning Guang first accused Feng Yiqian of pacifying Baoding and built the Wei Zhongxian Sheng Temple. Feng Yi's plea for mercy is not allowed. Not long after, thank you for your illness. All the builders of the temple were involved in the rebellion, and Feng Yi was pardoned for being a border official.
From the third year onwards, he passed away as an official and served as the acting governor of Ji, Liao, and Baoding military affairs for Liu Ce. After returning to Zun and Yongsi cities, he achieved meritorious service and was promoted to the position of Prince Shaobao and Minister of War. He also served in the imperial court in the imperial court. Fengyi Xixie is weak and weak. He reported to increase the number of good generals, heavy troops, firearms, reserve troops, and distant scouts. Thank you again for your illness. After a long time, he was summoned as the Minister of War.
In February of next year, we will summon the platform and, together with the Minister of Personnel Li Changgeng, issue an edict to "serve the country and lead the people with integrity". In search of an army, there were only a few soldiers. They said, "At the beginning of the country, there were 151000 soldiers in Xuanfu, and now there are 67000. In Datong, there are 135000 soldiers, and now there are 75000 soldiers. We request that each town recruit 10000 people and divide them into camps for training. The monthly salary will be limited to five yuan, and we will be able to provide food and two salaries for one person." The emperor followed suit. Zhou Chunxiu, the censor Ge Zhengqi, and others were accused of military misconduct and accused Feng Yi of being incompetent. Fengyi is not allowed to even beg for rest.
Seven years to restore Dengzhou merit and add Prince Shaobao. In July, the Qing army marched westward and invaded Han, with their troops rotating and entering the borders of Shanxi, Datong, and Xuanfu. The emperor was angry and the defender missed the opportunity, so he was punished by the Ministry of War. Dai Jun'en, Hu Zhan'en, and Jiao Yuanqing were dismissed from their positions and their staffs were redeemed, while Governor Zhang Zongheng remained idle. The emperor thought it was light and blamed Feng Yi for the situation. So the governor, the governor, and the three town generals, Mu Ziqiang, Cao Wenzhao, and Zhang Quanchang, were all sent to garrison, and the surveillance officials Liu Yunzhong, Liu Wenzhong, and Wang Kun also filled the army. When the Governor General Chen Qiyu tried to appease the rebellion, he accused Gu Guobao and Feng Yiju of using non-human means, but the Emperor did not ask. After Qiyu withdrew, he immediately ordered the Governor General of the Three Borders, Hong Chengchou, to concurrently oversee the military affairs of Henan, Shanxi, and Hubei, and suppress the bandits in the Central Plains. Yan Guan finds it difficult to balance the power of the domain, so please do not appoint anyone as the governor. Feng Yi cannot make a decision, and thus the domain is useless. The bandits will invade the south. Please use Yang Yipeng, the governor of Jiangbei, to protect the imperial tomb in Fengyang. Wen Ti Ren will not listen, and Feng Yi cannot be invited again. In January of the eighth year, the thief fruit destroyed the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum. Yan Guan submitted a memorial accusing Feng Yi, but Feng Yi also risked himself and begged to be dismissed. The emperor does not allow it, so it is a matter of guilt.
At the beginning, the bandits' invasion of Jiangbei also caused concern for Sun Jin in Tongcheng's hometown. Feng Yi said, "Gongnan people, why worry about thieves? Thieves come from the northwest, they don't eat rice, and their horses don't feed on Jiangnan grass." The person who heard it laughed. Due to the urgency of the matter, Zhu Dadian was ordered to control Fengyang. Lu Xiangsheng was promoted to the position of Prime Minister, and he and Hong Chengchou fought against the bandits from the north and south, but the bandits had already spread beyond control. During the incident, Liu Chang accused General Chen Zhuangyou of Feng Yitui and accepted him as a heavy bribe. Fengyi argues vigorously, and Chang is demoted from rank to rank.
Feng Yi once said, "In the battle to suppress the bandits, the original plan was to gather 72000 soldiers and follow the direction of the bandits for a period of time. The governor Chengchou distributed 30000 soldiers thousands of miles from Henan and Chu, but their strength was weak and they suffered from illness after long-term defense. Therefore, the reigns of You Shiwei and Xu Laichao were both defeated. With 20000 soldiers scattered within three thousand miles of Qin, the situation was divided and there was no support for the lone army. Therefore, Ai Wannian and Cao Wenzhao were both defeated. Now, they have benefited from the army of Zukuan, Li Zhencheng, Ni Chong, and Mu Wenshou, and have recruited 7000 Chu soldiers, totaling 90000, which is remarkable for their strength. Please consider those who are bandits in the pass as Chengchou. Those outside the border belong to the Xiangsheng tribe. If all the bandits leave the border, they will join forces to suppress in Yu, and if all the bandits enter the border, they will join forces to suppress in Qin. Those who are more concerned will have three to four hundred thousand bandit numbers, and their attacks will be repeated and their forces will be united; I will respond sporadically, but my strength will be divided. Wherever the bandits go, I will provide them with food, and everyone will be satisfied. Wherever I go, I will call out Genghis Khan at the back of Qiaosou. Thieves and horses are prone to illness, and can arrive in ten carriages in one or two days; I walk slowly and slowly, but after three days, I feel trapped and unable to move. When the situation of scarcity, hunger and hunger, and labor and leisure hangs in such a state, how long will the bandits be peaceful. Requesting strict imperial edicts to supervise and manage the two ministers, selecting generals to lead the army, with each army consisting of 120000 people, in order to establish a connection between the front, rear, and central power, and then be able to control bandits instead of being bandits. The current trend of bandits is heading east, with the Yellow River to the north, the Yangtze River to the south, and the canal to the east. Without boats and boats, how can they fly over? My troops are relentlessly pursuing from the northwest, but it's still easy to make a difference. We need to take measures to prevent the river from becoming dangerous, and those who need to apply for them are also responsible The emperor declares goodness and orders to act quickly. Fengyi requested a supervisor to suppress the bandits, but the emperor's decree did not allow it.
In February of the ninth year, Chen Changwen wrote to the Minister of War: "If you are in the army, you will not be allowed to obey your orders. If you are pretending to be the commander and managing two officials to take advantage of you, then you should not use military tactics. If you decide not to execute your rank today, and decide to execute it tomorrow, and decide to recruit soldiers to support the phoenix today, and decide to withdraw your troops to defend the river tomorrow, your heart will be at a loss. I hope that from now on, all those who can be supervised and controlled will have lenient laws and regulations, so that they can be widely distributed. Military strategy: defend what the enemy does not attack, attack what the enemy does not defend, and make strange and wrong mistakes. It is not difficult to eliminate bandits. Today, not only cannot be destroyed, but also to break through the army and kill generals today, and tomorrow to capture cities and states How can the law be peaceful if one stops punishing and abides by orders instead of being a governor? I hope that from now on, all officials who can be held accountable for their achievements will not be lenient in their laws, so that they can be sharpened." The emperor accepted his words.
The bandits in the north of the Yangtze River, after their defeats in Chuzhou and Guide, sought out Yongning, Lushi, Neixiang, and the mountains of Xichuan. The bandits in Guanzhong also joined forces with them from Anxiang and Lingbao. Fengyi requested that the three governors of Henan, Yunyang, and Shaanxi be ordered to guard their officials and prevent any incidents of theft. The governors of Sichuan and Hubei were relocated to the nearby border to receive assistance and suppression. Meanwhile, the governors and officials led a large army into the mountains and strictly controlled the rice merchants and traders, so that every thief could be killed. Emperor deeply committed the following crimes, such as the May Incident, the teacher wasting money, and the governor being unforgivable. Although Fengyi implemented this strategy, Xiang Sheng's troops had many cavalry and were not good at entering the mountains, so the bandits could not be eliminated.
By July, Qing soldiers had entered Changping from behind Tianshou Mountain, and the capital was under martial law. Shocked by Wang Jiayan's tomb during the incident, he accused Feng Yi of sitting idly by and refusing to save him. Fengyi is afraid and requests a supervisor. Grant the Shangfang Sword and supervise all the diligent soldiers of the garrison. Wang Yehao, the Left Assistant Minister, was appointed to oversee the military affairs of Tong, Jin, Lin, and De by the appointed official Luo Weining, while the Governor General of Xuan Da, Liang Tingdong, also led troops to provide assistance. The three of them retreated and dared not fight, so Baodi, Shunyi, Wen'an, Yongqing, Xiong, Ansu, Dingxing counties, as well as Anzhou and Dingzhou, were successively lost. After five or six rounds of official impeachment, Feng Yi was very worried and knew that he couldn't help but take Da Huang Yao every day. He was already critically ill and continued to govern the army. By the end of August, the capital city had lifted martial law, and Fengyi passed away on the first day of September. He has already been punished and stripped of his official position. In July of the eleventh year, in recognition of the achievements in suppressing bandits, an edict was issued to restore the country.
During the seventeen years of the emperor's reign, fourteen people of Yi Zhongxin were soon convicted. Fengyi is kind, gentle, and benevolent, and has been living alone for five years. His supervisor also intended to hold him accountable, but he died in fear of the law.
